A woman at work posts an article on Fakebook yesty outlining her dislike for the horse "racing" industry. Today she has spent three point five fucking hours setting up the office sweep and held a bunch of people's work up while doing so. For fucks sake.

Yep, that's pretty much the definition of today.

The racing industry really has nothing to do with the actual race, it all revolves around gambling. The "Sport" would not exist with out it.
I know that other sports are bet on, as some people will bet on anything but most other sports don't solely rely on gambling for it's existence.

I've never liked any sort of gambling.
Can't stand Casinos.
When I was just outta school I got a part time job at a TAB. It was awful.
The entire horse/dog/camel/whatever "racing" industry could all fuck off and evaporate forever and I wouldn't give a rats arse.
But, motorcycle and mtn bike racing??
That's a different stack of hay...

I see what you did there slipping in one of your sexual fantasies.
Melb cup gives me a few hrs to slack off at work and get away from people watching the race. Other than that I hate it.
Someone at work is collecting money to the house race horses and there are no sweeps. Work must be all woke at the moment.

You bunch of do gooders!! Where would we be without the classy after carnage photos after the event?? I always enjoy those. Although I'm never letting my daughter go to the race. Hopefully they'll be banned by the time she's old enough to go anyway...

I would rather buy a boost spacing bike, rather than go to the cup, or have anything to do with it.Yeah, racing industry can eat a bag of smelly dicks. Dislike the cup almost as much as new bike standards

Yeah it's a shit show for sure. Never been to a stupid horse race (or bet on one) and will never go to one. As was posted earlier the only reason horse racing exists is for gambling.
Today's public holiday I will take though. Been handy for some pumptrack shovel work.

It's like a trifecta of profiteering from misery isn't it. Racing + gambling + alcohol
And apparently schools still have cup day antics (my kids did this year). Let's get the next generation ready to revel in alcoholism and gambling on animal cruelty. Yay!

I've always found it amusing that the Spring Carnival and the Moto GP both happen within a week or two of each other and the difference in crowd behaviour couldn't be wider- particularly given the stereotypes of 'scruffy feral bikers' vs'the beautiful people/ Sport of Kings/blah, blah, blah.' Racecourse Road at 5pm on any given race day is like The Purge but with an extra helping of piss and vomit.
Also amusing: The Spring Carnival's annual insecure fawning over some 3rd rate US reality TV star flown in as guest of honour for the fortnight whereas we've had the likes of Keanu Reeves, Eric Bana* and Ewan McGregor hanging out at Phillip Island during the GP weekend with none of that sycophantic paparazzi bollocks!
*Ok, admittedly he lives just up the road so it's probably not a big commute for him but still, the bloke's been the Incredible Hulk!

I dunno if it's the gambling as I've always found the punters at the local cock-fighting ring to be generally well-behaved.

Used to be involved with greyhounds, my father tried to get it started properly in sth Africa, got shouted down by the horse people, apparently they didn't mistreat horses.
As I got older I changed views on many animal practices.
